Summary of Intercorrelations, Means, and Standard Deviations for Age and Narrative Language Scores

Measure	1	2	3	4	5	M	SD
Intercorrelations
1. Age	-	.13	−.12	−.10	−.08	8.68	1.21
2. EE		-	−.09	.19	−.19	14.67	4.09
3. NDW rate			-	.44^*	−.32	7.23	1.28
4. C-Density				-	−.24	2.33	.26
5. DDM					-	.04	.02

Note. Macrostructural (EE), microstructural (NDW rate, C-Density), and dialectal (DDM) measures were summed across fictional and personal narratives. EE = expressive elaboration; NDW rate = number of different word roots per communication unit; C-Density = clause density; DDM = dialect density measure.
